Travel and Tourism: Powering Saudi’s Next Growth Story
Travel and tourism are a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. The sector contributes around 4 percent of GDP today and is projected to reach 10 percent by 2030, generating more than one million jobs.
The Kingdom aims to welcome 30 million Umrah pilgrims each year and attract 100 million visitors annually. Massive investments in airports, high-speed rail, hotels, and giga-projects such as NEOM, Diriyah Gate, Red Sea Project, and AlUla are positioning Saudi Arabia as a global destination for both religious and leisure tourism.
According to the World Travel & Tourism Council, Saudi Arabia was among the fastest-growing tourism markets in 2023, with international visitor spending increasing by 121 percent.
